watch a 4x4 is born, that guy goes through the things step by step really learn alot from it, he rebuild his v8 in one, even i could do it after that (i think ) and im a moaning teenager

its a great program in which he builds a series 3 pickup body onto a range rover coil sprung chassis with the range rover v8 but the aspects of it would be applicable to most cars imo

as american hotrod is a good show the fabrication skills of those guys is amazing, but not as down to earth as a 4x4 is born, a bit more specialist

you have to start somewhere and you cant start off airbrshing etc, look at the guys who do it, there old because it takes alot of time to get there

think he needs to pick one area to realy go for it in, when i get a job to pay for it im going to do a night course in welding and spraying as its a skill id like

as for options at school, hell need maths, you need that in everything but its compulsary anyway, ict, and at my school with the options we had id take rm and a thing that was like the designing of it all, cant remeber the name of it
